    World Cup appreciation thread - games are on NOW!

    bring on Germany. After the US loss to Poland I figured they were out of it. I didn't even bother looking for a schedule or anything. And then to see that they beat Mexico tongight, I am amazed. I'm also outnumbered quite a bit in my town, by Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. Hope their not...

    World Cup appreciation thread - games are on NOW!

    the game didn't start until 2AM out here. I fell asleep after the first half. I did see a very poor performance of Portugal's defense. And I understand that the number one player in the world, Figo(??), is quite injured actually. Would have loved to see Reyna in action though, I played...

    Why do NYers hate Newark Airport?

    for the last few years, the traffic surrounding Newark has been unbelievably bad because they decided to rip up the whole airport at once. So when planning when to leave for the airport you had to allow alot more time, etc, even if you only lived 15 miles away. As far as cheaper, my experience...

    Ever regretted not telling someone how you felt?

    just remember that telling and/or showing someone how you feel is real life. Not telling them, and the thought process that follows, is where you enter another dimension.

    Is it okay to quit a job with no notice?

    if there is a reason you really don't want to work there, and you think its ok for you to just stop going, then leave. Not to mention the fact that it is usually important when in customer service related jobs to like your job, or do an excellent job of hiding the fact that you don't. but it is...

    Most Embarrasing Momentts?

    somewhere around the age of 18, we went into NYC to drink at a little hole in the wall bar. The kind of place that doesn't even card kids that look like they are 16. Well, we all got quite drunk. We would park across the river in NJ and take the subway tubes into Manhattan. It took about an hour...

    Types of birds you've seen in your yard?

    when I was very young, there were two peacocks in my backyard. My mother didn't believe me the first couple of times I tried to tell her. They had escaped from a local zoo in SoCal. In Colorado there were alot of magpies, which are scavengers, and are pretty strange looking birds with long...

    College is not for everyone...

    somehow, if this makes sense, 18 can be too young for most people to attend college. other things which might get in the way are people who don't like to sit around, people who's sweaty hands curl anything paper-like in seconds, or people who don't know what they want to do, until they...

    Who wants to take an "IQ test"?

    geesh, I scored 130 on the quick test, but that UK one is way too much for me to put up with. It must be designed to weed out the IQ posers or something.

    Do you look like someone famous?

    alot of OLD people tell me I resemble Frank Sinatra when he was younger. Not only in looks but mannerisms. It trips them out. But I doubt they can see very far anyways. I'm still checking out that Ronstadt cover... :)
